Before this change doing something like `--verbose 10 --debug-cycles`
did not properly set verbosity, only using those arguments in an other
way around was leading to a correct verbosity level.
Am not even sure that it is possible to use fstrings at all when UI
translation is required (that is, is a sensible, reasonable way that
does not make things even more complicated than they already are), but
one thing is certain, this won't be trivial to get it working, so
definitively not a job for now.
Instead just do not use fstrings for UI translatable strings.
Switch to Gregory basis patches which are tangent continuous across their
boundaries.
Originally we've used BSpline basis patches to be more compatible with the
old subdivision code, but a lot of things changed anyway.
When compute preemption is available we schedule more work which is more
efficient. However the CUDA driver appears to be incorrectly reporting this as
unavailable, even though it should be supported starting with Windows 10 1803
and Pascal and Turing (10x0 and 20x0) graphics cards.
This reduces render time by about a 25% difference on our benchmark scenes. On
Linux compute preemption appears to be reported correctly.
Replace relative threshold for pseudo inverse in sharp remeshing modifier with
0.1 as proposed in the original paper.
Also change pseudo-inverse implementation that works with dynamic heap-allocated
matrix to static 3x3 version, for performance

This is enabled with bl_use_eevee_viewport = True. It allows external engines
to generate an Cycles/Eevee shader node setup to emulate their materials in
the realtime viewport, or to leave it to users to do manually.
Removed bl_use_exclude_layers and bl_use_shading_nodes that did nothing
anymore. This should not break API compatibility, any scripts setting those
should continue to work the same as before.
Also adds descriptions for some RenderEngine settings.
On GPUs that support it, we now present OpenGL contents via CAMetalLayer. This
fixes frame skipping issues found in T60043. If the system does not have a Metal
capable GPU, NSOpenGLView will continue to be used.
Patch by Tomoaki Kawada, with some changes by Brecht Van Lommel.

Previously, bright edges (e.g. caused by rim lighting) would sometimes get
halos around them after denoising.
This change introduces a log(1+x) highlight compression step that is performed
before denoising and reversed afterwards. That way, the denoising algorithm
itself operates in the compressed space and therefore bright edges cause less
numerical issues.
This commit extends dependency graph API with an argument which
denotes that all custom data layers are to be preserved. This
forces modifier stack re-evaluation with more inclusive mask.
Far from ideal, since this might fail in certain configurations
with indirectly used objects which might be missing layers needed
for the current object evaluation. But this is how it worked for
a long time, so should be good enough for until more sophisticated
solution is found.
In order to use this new behavior two things are to be passed:
- Pass keep_all_data_layers=True
- Pass a valid dependency graph.
The dependency graph is only needed if keep_all_data_layers=True
and is NOT to be passed if keep_all_data_layers=False.
If keep_all_data_layers=True the dependency graph MUST be passed.
